The internets. History was made Today, as the very first reskin in UnNews history graced the internet. This momentous event was the brainchild of several ambitious Uncyclopedians (the most notable of which being BarryC, on whose page the project was secretly hidden). This reskin was pulled off flawlessly without a hitch (well, without one worth mentioning anyway), and nobody cared.
"The what?" said outgoing UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. "The U. N.'s news service will be experiencing no changes. I don't know what you're talking about."
As shocking as this response is, it seems to be more of the rule than the exception. Reactions across the globe have all been something along these lines, with one notable exception.
"Merry Christmas," said George W. Bush, as he stepped into a helicopter. "Peace on Earth, and good will toward man." When the reporter repeated the question, he added, "No, no further questions, please."
"I really was expecting this to make more of a splash," admitted the guilty admin who'd been in on the scheme. "I'm actually pretty disappointed at the response we've gotten. Her majesty has not only stopped taking my calls, but now the FBI is butting in when I dial asking me to stop 'pestering her' for 'diplomatic reasons.'"
It is expected that the reskin will change back as soon as the pertinent people figure out how it got this way in the first place.
